The water main extension policy of the town for town water mains and the policy to be followed in connection therewith shall be, and the same is hereby declared to be as follows:
(A) Developers must pay all costs for constructing mains of such sizes as to afford adequate service during peak demands.
(B) The minimum water requirements will be per applicable state and federal regulations.
(C) The Utilities Manager or his/her designee will review and approve the required size and layout of public water mains that will meet both domestic water needs and fire flow requirements as specified in the Water and Wastewater Technical Design Guidelines.
(D) The Utility Department will not perform field engineering nor submit detailed plans and specifications for any developer. This work is to be performed by a civil engineer registered in the state and employed by the developer. Before construction begins, final detailed plans and specifications for the water main extensions in the development must be approved by the Utility Department. The cost of staking the location of the new water mains and the cost of inspecting the construction shall be assumed by the developer. The town will perform the inspection during construction.
(E) Where booster pumps are necessary to maintain adequate pressures in the mains due to the development being near or above the hydraulic gradient of the distribution system of the town service area, the developer shall construct, at his own expense, the necessary booster pumping station and storage facilities to town specifications as addressed in the town's Water and Wastewater Technical Design Guidelines. The town will assume ownership, maintenance and operation of such booster pump installation upon its completion and acceptance by the town.
(F) All extensions must comply with the town's Water Master Plan.
